JAMES HENDERSON MAOKLEY, OF POOATELLO, IDAHO.

WALL WATER-HEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent NO 709,340, dated September 16, 1902.

Application filed March 26, 1902. Serial No. 100,079. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

a Be, it known that I, JAMES HENDERSON MACKLEY, a citizen of the United States, re-

siding at Pocatello, inthe county of Bannock and State of Idaho, have made certain new j and the invention consists in certain novel 7 around the front side of the tank A.

heater proper is connected with the tank by,

constructions and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure I is aside elevation, partly in section, of a heater embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a top plan View of the heater, and Fig. 3 is an end view thereof, and Fig. 4 is a detail face view of the middle portion of the lower sup,porting-bar.

The heater comprises the tank A and the heater proper, including the coil B and the casing O, inclosing the same.

The tank A is provided near its upper and extended ends of straps a and, a passing The means of the pipes which establish communication between the coil and the tank, and said heater proper is provided near its lower end and at its outer side witha lugD, preferably about in line with the lower lugs A of the heater.

To the brackets A, I secure the upper supporting-bar E, having at its ends openings e for bolts or other fastenings by which to secure the bar against thew-all and provided I near its ends with openings E, which coin- Gide with similar openings in the brackets A and which receive the bolts E, by which the brackets A are secured to the supportingbars. It will be noticedthat the ends of the supporting-bars outside the bolts E are defiected vertically, extending up in the position shown in Fig." 1, and this deflection of easing near the bottom of the coil.

the ends of the bars may preferably be eifected by curving the bars longitudinally, as shown. By this means it will be noted that if the slots in the ends of the supporting-bar are not arranged to engage with the supporting-bolts on the wall the said supporting-bar can be removed and inverted, so their extended ends will incline downwardly instead of upwardly, as shown, thus permitting of the adjustment of the supporting-bar so its extended ends will incline upwardly or downward, as may be desired.

The lower supporting-bar F is curved from end to end, so its ends at F will be deflected vertically or up or down, and is provided at its ends with the openingf for the securingbolts, and is bolted by bolts F and F respectively, to the lugs A and D, and this supporting-bar may also be inverted or reversed, like the bar E, to adapt itself to the location of thesupporting-bolts. In order to connect the supporting-bar F with the lug A which lies between the tank A and the heater proper, I provide the said supporting-bar F with a vertical lug F which projects downwardly i in one adjustment of the supporting-bar and upwardly in the reversed position of said bar to receive the bolt F as will. be understood from Figs. 1 and 4B of the drawings.

filling is packed. The coil B has its convolutions fitted closely together, and it also tapers toward its upper end, corresponding to the taper of the casing within which it fits, so that the heat supplied below by means of a suitable burner at b will pass upwardly through the coil to the top thereof and discharge into the casing and pass therein downward along the outer side of the coil and escape at C through an opening formed in the A stopplate C prevents the heat from passing up along the outside of the coil from the bottom thereof by filling the space between the coil and the casing immediately below the lower round of the coil.

In supplying the water to be heated a connection may be made with the main at G ICO throughasuitablejoint-piece havingabranch G, discharging into the tank A, near the bottom thereof, and also having a branch G extending to thefront of the tank and connected with a cross branch G extending in front of the tank, and having valves at G and G on opposite sides of the discharge H, the valve mined point.

A pipe connection I has a branch I leading from the bottom of the tank A and a branch Pleading to the lower round of the coil B, thus supplying water from the tank A to the coil B, as desired, andthe pipe connection I is also provided with a branch 1', valved at t" and through which the tank and coil may be emptied whenever desired.

The pipe-B leads from the upper round of the coil B and discharges into the tank A near the upper end of said tank, as best shown in Figure 1. I I

By the described construction it will be noticed water is supplied to the tank A at G, is taken from the said tank at I at the bottom of the tank and conducted thence into the lower end of the coil B, and discharges from the upper endof said coil through the pipe B into the tank A. near the upper end of the tank. By this construction I secure a circulation of the water from the tank A through the coil B and back into the tank, which water can be conveniently drawn from the tank through the pipe connection G under the control of the valve' G the water discharging from the nozzle H, as shown. By manipulating the valves G and G5 the water can be tempered to any desired temperature,

thecold water passing through the valve G4 and the hot water through the valve G in proportions regulated by the adjustments of the valves. Also, if desired, the valve G may be closed and the valve G4 opened to draw cold water. During the operation of heating the water the valve 1 may be opened at any time to reduce the quantity of water in the tank A and the coil B for' any desired purpose. As best shown in Fig. 1, I secure on the tank A a lug I which depends between the tank and the heater proper and has an opening to receive the pipe I which connects with the coil B and aids in supporting the heater proper in position. The openings in the extended ends of the supporting-bars are elongated or slotted, so they cover a considerable range in the two positions of the said bars.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The heater herein described, comprising the tank, the straps applied to the tank near its upper and lower ends, and provided at their ends with the lugs at the rear side of the tank, the heater proper located alongside the tank and comprising the coil connected at its upper and lower ends with the tank and tapering toward its upper end, the casing fitting over the coil and having the stop-plate closing the space between the casing and the coil at the lower end of the latter, the lug secured to the casing. and arranged at the rear side thereof approximately in line with the corresponding lugs ofvthe tank, the upper supporting-bar connected near its'ends with the lugs at the upper end of the tank and deflected vertically at its ends which extend be yond said lugs, and having such extensions perforated for the securingbolts, and the lower supporting-bar provided at its middle with means for connection with the lug at the rear side of the tank, and between the same and the heater proper, and secured near its ends to the lugs at the lower sides of the lower ends of the tank and heater proper, and having extensions beyond such connections, said extensions being deflected vertically and perforated, the water-supply pipe having a connection with the tank and a branch extending thence alongside the tank and provided with a discharge and with valves on opposite sides thereof, and a pipe connection leading thence to the upper end of the tank, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

2. In a wall water-heater, the combination 'with the tank, and the heating means, of lugs in connection with the tank, and at the op-' posite sides thereof, and a supporting-bar detachably connected near its ends with said lugs and extended beyond such points of connection, and having its said extensions deflected vertically and perforated for the passage of the securing-bolts, substantially as set forth.

3. In a wall Water-heater, the combination with the tank and the heater proper alongside the same, of the straps applied to the heater proper and the tank and having at their ends lugs or extensions for connection with the supporting-bars, and the bars secured to said lugs or extensions and having their ends deflected vertically and perforated, substantially as set forth.
